OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush reportedly used expired carbon fiber that was "past its shelf life" to build the doomed Titan submersible.

New evidence strongly suggests that OceanGate’s submersible, which imploded and killed all passengers on its way to the Titanic wreck, was unfit for the journey. The CEO, Stockton Rush, bought discounted carbon fiber past its shelf life from Boeing, which experts say is a terrible choice for a deep-sea vessel. This likely played a role in the submersible’s tragic demise.

    I mean, it’s insanely easy to avoid being crushed at the bottom of the ocean in a homemade discount sub that everyone has tried to warn you is unsafe

    Tell me about it! I’ve been able to avoid it for 30 years, and I haven’t even really been trying that hard!
